Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install texlive-tetex on CentOS 8.
What is texlive-tetex
teTeX was a comprehensive distribution of TeX, LaTeX and family, designed for ease of compilation, installation and customisation. In 2006, Thomas Esser announced he would no longer be able to support, or to produce new versions of, teTeX. With the appearance of TeX live 2007 (whose Unix-system TeX support originally derived from teTeX), no-one should be using teTeX at all, in new applications. One of the “schemes” available when installing TeX live provides a configuration very close to that of the old teTeX, but using modern versions of programs and packages.
We can use yum or dnf to install texlive-tetex on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install texlive-tetex.
